If it's a Venice taxi you might find you never get touched up but go round in circles for days

gondola. Thus no more from me on unrelated matters here, and I cheerfully recommend restoration of discussion to the title of this thread.

Does that mean you are waving the white flag instead of the red one, if so I would just like to add my own personal view of you with no offence intended, in your post's you have often used the word 'elevate' also I have noticed good and bad spelling etc, this suggest to me that their are two people writing under the name of gondola. You are obviously connected to the Council in some manner, "so why was a sex offender given a licence to serve the general public"? A straight answer is all that is required of you!

You get my vote on this, this is his/her's one and only thread.

He hasn't given a stright answer since he started posting on here. You will now be accused of not being able to spell, or speak correctly. I think someone has a complex about English. Maybe thats why he use's a foreign name.

Read his very first post Bazf, this was written by a secretary in my opinion far to good for the rest of his/her efforts, time will find this person out, as my council mole is already at work on him/her.

I think that this post sums up all Gondola's postings very well. Some of their phraseology has been rather strange and are not the words most Accringtonians would use to express themselves.

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
Wow just read this last page as my first page. Was quite curious as to how this topic got such a go. Sounds like I missed some fireworks.
Is the thread worth reading from the start or is it much ado about nothing!
Brian

Yes Brian, its an important thread to residents of Accrington/Hyndburn who have concerns about wether or not their daughters/sisters/mothers/wives or female significant others, and female friends and neighbours are safe and free from molestation from convicted sex offenders whilst using Hyndburn Council licensed cabs/taxis/hire cars

It is a must read thread Brian and judge for yourself, by the way how are you buddy, I will not try to influence you either way, but would you give a cab licence to a sex offender? regards Ian.

Yes so far Brian will pm you, you hit the jackpot 100% without giving you eyestrain reading it all, the whole town is up in arms about this cretin being granted a cab licence, it could only happen in Accrington, this decision was made without regard for the injured parties who were molested, and their families feelings, but purely for selfish, self interest in one semi illiterate Councillors own back yard. Regards Ian.

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
Ianto,
''but purely for selfish, self interest in one semi illiterate Councillors own back yard''
Correct me if im wrong, but are you suggesting that the decision was skewed by the disproportionate impact of one Committee member?
Now that is interesting!
You are right. The interests of the victim and other users should have been of paramount importance.

Just stating the obvious any fool could have worked it out, I was just saving our American cousin the pain of reading some of the double talk in this thread, you well know the influence and pressure that can be brought to bear by any committee chair on fellow members, our leader is a 'peter perfect' example of this.

Since you directly infer it to be the Chair that skewed the decision, that puts to one side generic discussion re the same.
I think that the group set up to investigate this matter need to consider such speculation. Otherwise it will not be readily accepted by the cynical public .
I am taking this discussion to the Councillor thread, where I shall paste some of the previous posts to serve as an overview. You are more than welcome to join me over there.
I sincerely hope those on this thread are successful in their objective of promoting the safety of vulnerable passengers.
